Greetings!
The main purpose of this web site is to get the photos that I’ve taken
of you into your hands. Mostly, these
are photos taken at climbing competitions, however there are photos taken from
other kinds of events as well.
The buttons to the left will lead you to these photographs. They are all links to online photo
albums with OneDrive and Shutterfly.
My photography is all volunteer work; I don't get kickbacks from
OneDrive or Shutterfly; I just use them because they are convenient.
2016 ABS Division 1 Championships:
Photos from the ABS Division 1 Championships at the MAC in Portland are
now posted. Just follow the ABS link to the left.
2015 SCS National Championships:
Photos of sport and speed climbing are now posted. These are but a small sample of the photos
taken at the competition! If you'd like photos of yourself or your climber, please send me an email
(click on the Contact link above) and I'll get them to you as soon as I can (provided I have any of the
requested climber). This year, the gym layout presented very large challenges to getting good photos
and especially for getting photos of everyone.
Digital files:
Photos for all of the regional and divisional competitions displayed on this site are Microsoft
OneDrive links. You may download any of these photos at full resolution for your personal use.
National competitions are done using Shutterfly links and as such can't be downloaded at
full resolution. However, I will send you full-resolution photos on request if the photo is
of yourself or your child.
I have photos of competitions going back to 1998. Even though the older
competitions no longer have links on this site, you may request photos of these
competitions from me and I'll send you full resolution digital files.
I’m not in business here; I’m just a climbing Joe who enjoys taking
photographs. Don’t be afraid to contact
me. Just click on the “Contact” button
above for my information.
Enjoy!
